I got to leave this town.
Its a lonesome place.
Got to leave this town cause
Its a lonesome place.
A po, po boy cant
Find a friendly face.
Goin down to de river
Flowin deep an slow.
Goin down to de river
Deep an slow-
Cause there aint no worries
Where de waters go.
Im weary, weary,
Weary, as I can be.
Weary, weary,
Weary as can be.
This lifes so weary,
S bout to overcome me.
